SEBRING OFFICERS CLUB
History:
Even before Sebring International Raceway became home to one of the world’s most prestigious sports car races and was dubbed the “Birthplace of American Endurance Racing,” a moniker earned by hosting the first sports car endurance race in the United States on December 31, 1950, the facility played a vital role in world history. Hendricks Field, which later became Sebring International Raceway, was built in 1941 on land owned by the City of Sebring and leased to the United States government for $1 per year. The Army Corps of Engineers managed the construction of a self-sustaining city with paved streets, water and sewage systems, frame buildings, barracks, and four concrete runways, each 300-feet wide by 5,000-feet long.
In early 1942, the base became an Army Air Forces Training Command for the 76th Flying Training Wing. In peak operation about 120 B-17 bombers were assigned to the base and more than 10,000 pilots and other crew members were trained at Hendricks Field.
Shortly after the war, the base closed, and the City of Sebring was awarded a permit to operate the former military facility as a civilian installation. Eventually, the runways became a playground for sports cars and the best drivers from around the world, and the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring was born.
Among the buildings left behind was a single-story barrack in the middle of what is now the ‘Midway’ at the Raceway. That building, which is believed to have housed officers and their families stationed on the base, is the last remaining building built in 1942 on the roughly 400-acre facility. in 2024, Sebring International Raceway embarked on the journey of restoring this remaining piece of history, bringing to life the 'Sebring Officers Club.'
